Tips and Hints

1) Remembering Transformation
All you have to remember is that when the x (input) is being changed then the graph is moving along the x- axis by the opposite of what you're doing to it. So if you add to the x you shift the graph to the left and vice versa when you subtract. Also when you multiply the x instead of stretching out the graph you compact it and vice versa when you divide. When the change is occuring top the x its always going to have parentheses around the x and the change that'a occuring to it. When the change is occuring to the output (y or f(x)) then you do exactly what the change says along the y-axis. So if you're adding to the output then the graph shifts up and vice versa when you subtract. And when you multiply the output then you stretch out the graph. For example if you double the output then the parent function y-coordinate points are all doubled and vice versa when you divide.

2 and 3) Trigonometry
I don't really know how i remember all the trigonometry stuff, i just do. So I don't know any tips or hints i can tell to help anybody else who needs them. Nothing worries me or still confuses me off the top of my head. I pretty much understand everything that we've been doing and learning about trigonometry.
